I just finished leading a training with a colleague on conversation and relationship-building. We were talking about building trust with someone. From establishing credibility to creating intimacy. At the highest level of trust – each person has a shared vision for the other. After reading excerpts from Ron Riggio’s book, Transformational Leadership, I realized that this is what transformational leaders do. They build trust wherever they go – with their employees, their peers, and their superiors. They find out about what others care about and support them in their vision. For me, this was a great reminder and a good opportunity to do my own inventory of where I’m holding vision for others and where I’m not – a good wake up call to become the transformational leader I want to be.
